Waiting for biopsy results

Try not to stress too much, most likely it is nothing. Most melanomas are from new lesions/moles, not ones we've had forever. A derm is better trained in spotting moles that look suspicious, general doctors don't get much dermatology training in school so, in my opinion, if your derm wan't worried about that one, it's probably ok. Try not to get too far ahead of yourself until you know the result. I know that is easier said than done.

All the best,

In a study, primary care docs misdiagnosed melanoma 73% of the time (or something close to that).  Shown pictures of lesions, both melanoma and not, they were wrong that often.  So…if it hadn't changed and your derm hasn't been concerned, I wouldn't stress too much right now.
